Notes

1. I think Williams is right to say that the loss we suffer in dying consists precisely in dying rather than in being dead. Still, it’s worth bearing in mind that dying is terminal only by being a dwindling down to nothing. Hence Thomas Nagel’s remark, “I should not really object to dying if it were not followed by death” (1979: 3 n. 1).

2. The translations of Sein und Zeit are mine.

3. Here, for good measure, Heidegger quotes Der Ackermann aus Böhmen (1400) by the poet Johannes von Tepl: “As soon as a man comes to life, he is at once old enough to die.”
